FIXED LINE PROTECTOR FOR FISHING REEDS.

To aZZwwm z2/may concern.'

Be it known-that I, ALFRED D. MAURY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ilion, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Fixed `Line Protectors for Fishing Reels, of which the following isa specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying draw-ing. My invention relates to a fixed line-protector for fishing reels, and I declare the following to be a full clear, concise and exact description thereof sufficient to enable anyone skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, 'reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout vthe specification. A

The object of the invention is to provide a device that calf be appliedreadily to any vwell knownmake of shing reels and by becoming a part! thereof furnish a fixed line protector for fthe fishing line. S

The fishing reel here illustrated shows only such parts thereof, as are necessary to explain my invention, which will be understood by ,referring to the drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a fishing reel showing the fixed line protector at- 30 tached thereto;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the fishing i'eel showing the attachment;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view, showin the fixed line protector that is employed. tIieferring more particularly to the drawings, the fishing reel here shown embodies the upper stationary disk -1- in which revolves the rotary disk 2 adapted for winding the spring that rotates the reel, in the usual well known manner. The lower stationary disk 4 is held'in place by headed bolts 5 that are surrounded by the hollow sleeves 6 which act as spacers. In order to apply the attachment for such or similar make of reels, it is necessary to remove only one of the old headed bolts 5 and sleeves 6, preferably the one located near the plunger release 7 or release 8 and substitute the new sleeve 10 of my invention. rIhe new sleeve 10 will perform the same functions, as those performed by the sleeve 6 that is removed and in addition vthereto .protect the line, as it moves in and out of the reel.

For the purpose of protecting the line, the sleeve 10 has attached the protector 11 which embodies a metallic ring 12 formed integral with `the sleeve 10. Disposed within the ring 12 vand concentric thereto is a glass or agate 'ring 15 with rounded edges 16-16 adapted to permit the line to slide smoothly therethrough in either direction without in- Jury.

'Ihe glass or'agate ring 15 is held within the metallic ring 12 b cement or by a close fit ofsaid'glass ring l .to said metallic ring 12 or in any other suitable manner.

The sleeve 10 is held in place by a headed bolt 5 and nut 17.

It will be apparent from the foregoing, that this fixed line protector can be attached easily to any well known make of fishing reel.

Having thus described my invention what I clalm as new and desire to securel by Letters Patent is:

1."'In .a fixed line rotector for fishing reels, having upper an lower disksi'a sleeve adapted. to act as a spacer for said disks, a

ring formed integral with said slee-ve, and

3. In a fixed line protector for fishing reels having upper and lower disks.y a sleeve ring attached to said sleeve, and a glass ring havmg rounded edges, mounted within and concentric to said first named ring,

vadapted to act as a spacer for said disks, a A
